History Of Modern India New Ed

History of Modern India presents what is arguable the authoritative overview of the historical period known as British India.

It moves away from a largely political narrative to offer:

An explanation of conditions in eighteenth-century India that helped the British East India Company establish its rule.
Important insights into the primary aim of colonial rule: the economic exploitation of India through trade and investment.
A detailed account of the nationalist movement.
An introduction to significant freedom fighters.
